Explore the Extraordinary World of the Animals with Yolaine de la Bigne (vegetarian), Part 1 of 2

It is our honor to introduce Ms. de la Bigne to you in this two-part series. She is a passionate French animal advocate, journalist, and for 12 years was a presenter for a daily program aired by the French national radio network France Info. This thoughtful lady has authored many books, including “The Secrets of Animal Intelligence.” In 2016, she established an annual event called the Animal Summer Gathering, inviting scientists from various fields and people from all walks of life to present on topics relating to animal intelligence. Yolaine will share with us her in-depth understanding of the animals that she has gained over many years. “I had a media entity dedicated to the environment for 10 years called Néoplanéte, which had an online radio station, a free printed magazine and a website. Because I think the most important theme today is that without our planet, we won’t make it, and people don’t realize that.” “The horse is an extremely therapeutic animal. He sees you coming, by the way you walk, by the eyes you have, the way you are, the way you act; he already knows what you’re thinking. He already knows what emotional state you’re in.” “When a chick is born, they can count to five.” “The singing males then enter the scene, in tropical areas, they encircle masses of phytoplankton in suspension, and for several days, even weeks, they will sing songs which will act on the assembly of the amino acids that compose these proteins, modify their connections and thus create new richer proteins that will then allow suckling females to get an additional protein supply.”
